The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems, DCOSS 2008, held on Santorini Island, Greece, in June 2008.

The 29 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. The papers propose a multitude of novel algorithmic design and analysis techniques, systematic approaches and application development methodologies for distributed sensor networking. The papers cover aspects including energy management, communication, coverage and tracking, time...

Grounded in real-world applications, this volume mixes conceptual instruction with lab work to arm students and IT professionals with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to develop and maintain a fully functioning Linux network systems with open source materials. The material employs the latest version of Linux and covers some of latest Linux-based mobile devices. Many hands-on activities with step-by-step instructions are includeda "designed to promote problem solving with regard to actual business scenarios. Fully self-contained, the text can be used for either classroom instruction...

Die Leistung von Computersystemen ist die ausschlaggebende Groe fur ihren Einsatz. Zur Messung der Leistung wird sehr oft das Benchmark-Verfahren eingesetzt, obwohl bekannt ist, dass die Ergebnisse nur sehr beschrankt aussagekraftig sind. Modellbildende Techniken dagegen werden haufig zu Recht als "mathematiklastig" empfunden. Ausgehend von einer Kombination beider Ansatze erlautert der Autor Methoden zur Leistungsbewertung von Computersystemen, die eine wesentlich bessere Messung, Analyse und Bewertung gestatten.

Distributed Intelligent Systems: A Coordination Perspective comprehensively answers commonly asked questions about coordination in agent-oriented distributed systems. Characterizing the state-of-the-art research in the field of coordination with regard to the development of distributed agent-oriented systems is a particularly complex endeavour; while existing books deal with specific aspects of coordination, the major contribution of this book lies in the attempt to provide an in-depth review covering a wide range of issues regarding multi-agent coordination in Distributed Artificial...

Now with solutions to selected problems, Applied Combinatorics, Second Edition presents the tools of combinatorics from an applied point of view. This bestselling textbook offers numerous references to the literature of combinatorics and its applications that enable readers to delve more deeply into the topics.

After introducing fundamental counting rules and the tools of graph theory and relations, the authors focus on three basic problems of combinatorics: counting, existence, and optimization problems. They discuss advanced tools for dealing with the...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust, FAST 2005, held in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in July 2005.

The 17 revised papers presented together with the extended abstract of 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers focus on formal aspects in security and trust policy models, security protocol design and analysis, formal models of trust and reputation, logics for security and trust, distributed trust management systems, trust-based reasoning,...

Based on research and industry experience, this book structures the issues pertaining to grid computing security into three main categories: architecture-related, infrastructure-related, and management-related issues. It discusses all three categories in detail, presents existing solutions, standards, and products, and pinpoints their shortcomings and open questions. Together with a brief introduction into grid computing in general and underlying security technologies, this book offers the first concise and detailed introduction to this important area, targeting professionals in the grid...

Die Autoren erlautern die konzeptionellen und technischen Grundlagen des Themas IT-Sicherheit anhand anschaulicher Beispiele. Im Fokus stehen dabei die praktische Verwendbarkeit realitatsnaher Konzepte und Techniken. Hierzu werden ebenfalls aktuelle Standards erlautert und eingebunden.

Um die Komplexitat des Themas und seine Abhangigkeiten darzustellen, werden die Integration der einzelnen Bausteine sowie der Betrieb eines solchen Verbundes von IT-Komponenten sowohl aus technischer als auch administrativer Sicht und unter dem Aspekt der Integration in eine...

This book presents the technical challenges offered by P2P systems, and the means that have been proposed to address them. It provides a single source for practitioners, researchers and students on the state-of-the-art on this subject.
